Introduction
This paper summarizes the available evidence in three key areas related to recognizing and addressing intimate partner violence/teen dating violence in healthy relationship programs:
- building organizational readiness to recognize and address intimate partner violence/teen dating violence;
- offering survivor-centered and trauma-informed opportunities for participants to disclose intimate partner violence/teen dating violence; and
- protecting survivor safety whenever intimate partner violence/teen dating violence is disclosed.
It reviews empirical, theoretical, and practice-based literature and is informed by a panel of research experts, domestic violence advocates, and service providers.
This is the fourth in a series of papers from the RIViR project, which aims to understand how to best identify and address IPV in the context of healthy relationship programming.
